Why is Jesus not helping us?

Asked by frigate1985 (927) August 13th, 2010 from iPhone

Before I talk about anything, I’d like to point out several things. First and foremost, I DO NOT intend to offend anyone, especially Christians and Catholics. Next, my views on religion is agnostic. Lastly, I completely suck in religion (like, I thought Christianity included all religions such as Catholics, Protestant, etc etc).

Clarifying that, I just wanted to ask this: why is Jesus leaving us alone?

Well, from what little I know of religion(especially regarding Jesus), I thought he was a kind guy, sort of philanthropic. I thought he was supposed to help people in need. Seeing civil wars, genocides, famines, food/water shortages among many other things, I think it’s about time Jesus stepped in and maybe say, “okay let’s not fight, etc etc.” But the last time I checked, there were no reports on any paranormal activities around the globe. I was just so curious why god isn’t helping us when they are supposed to protect us from harm. Isn’t that why people “believe”? They seek some form of a shelter within the god’s sanctuary right? So why is god not returning the love we give to him/her? Is ir because we are still paying back the debt we owe to god(as in Jesus sacrificing himself)?
I just thought it was strange.
